What Is
What is living what is dying
What is laughing what is crying
What is releasing what is holding
What is praising what is scolding
What is hope what is despair
What is just what is unfair
What is world what is space
What is foot what is face
What is silence what is noise
What is polarity what is poise
What is hell what is heaven
What is zero what is seven
What is is what is was
What is result what is cause
What is hunter what is prey
What is night what is day
What is fast what...
What is laughing what is crying
What is releasing what is holding
What is praising what is scolding
What is hope what is despair
What is just what is unfair
What is world what is space
What is foot what is face
What is silence what is noise
What is polarity what is poise
What is hell what is heaven
What is zero what is seven
What is is what is was
What is result what is cause
What is hunter what is prey
What is night what is day
What is fast what...

From The Deep
Do you know what it's like to have nowhere to go?
And the answer to every desperate question is no
And some people you love turn their backs to you
And there's no solution you don't know what to do
And if you venture outside you're met with evil eyes
And the words that you speak are contemptible lies
And when you look in the mirror you ache so bad
And you think of your losses and all that you had
And you don't want to live but you don't want to die
And with lust for revenge shake your fist at the sky
And you find you are not the same man as...
And the answer to every desperate question is no
And some people you love turn their backs to you
And there's no solution you don't know what to do
And if you venture outside you're met with evil eyes
And the words that you speak are contemptible lies
And when you look in the mirror you ache so bad
And you think of your losses and all that you had
And you don't want to live but you don't want to die
And with lust for revenge shake your fist at the sky
And you find you are not the same man as...

Megaphone
I tear up so easy
Easy peasy
It's just the way I am
An emotional man
Am told I should hide it
And to fight it
But you know I never can
You know I never can
To always think aloud
Is not allowed
It's just the way I am
An automatic man
Am told not to do it
To think through it
But you know I never can
You know I never can
I tend to speak my mind
That's so unkind
It's just the way I am
A megaphonic man
Am told to hold it back
The fierce attack
But you know I...
Easy peasy
It's just the way I am
An emotional man
Am told I should hide it
And to fight it
But you know I never can
You know I never can

An automatic man
Am told not to do it
To think through it
But you know I never can
You know I never can
I tend to speak my mind
That's so unkind

Am told to hold it back
The fierce attack

Ghost
Lady sits in her embroidered favorite chair
Bites a lip and fiddles with her long hair
Feels a presence a certain unease in the air
A foreboding feeling says danger beware
As if she is under a gaze an accusing stare
And there is nobody there
Tells herself there is no need to be afraid
She is no longer a girl in the second grade
Dead and gone why won't the memory fade?
Told it was not her fault that she stayed
Yet she is taken back to where she had laid
In the bed that He made
A tingling between her legs she knows so well ...
Bites a lip and fiddles with her long hair
Feels a presence a certain unease in the air
A foreboding feeling says danger beware
As if she is under a gaze an accusing stare
And there is nobody there
Tells herself there is no need to be afraid
She is no longer a girl in the second grade
Dead and gone why won't the memory fade?
Told it was not her fault that she stayed
Yet she is taken back to where she had laid
In the bed that He made
A tingling between her legs she knows so well ...

Earworm
I´ve got an earworm pulsating in my brain
It's more an annoyance than actual pain
Unsettling how it enters again and again
What an odd melodic way of going insane
Here slithers in another dadoodoodada
My consciousness stuck in the land of la la
Last night three dogs a howling Shambala
This morn some godawful song with Saga
Is there medicine for a rhythmic condition?
I mean is it even a recognized affliction?
I would pay real money for a prescription
Give me Frieden from Nicole's Ein Bisschen
It's more an annoyance than actual pain
Unsettling how it enters again and again
What an odd melodic way of going insane
Here slithers in another dadoodoodada
My consciousness stuck in the land of la la
Last night three dogs a howling Shambala
This morn some godawful song with Saga
Is there medicine for a rhythmic condition?
I mean is it even a recognized affliction?
I would pay real money for a prescription
Give me Frieden from Nicole's Ein Bisschen

John Prine
The King of the lyricists was laid low by a crown
He helped me forget when I was feeling down
His warm voice echoes from behind a cold door
Blessed be his memory and what he stood for
He helped me forget when I was feeling down
His warm voice echoes from behind a cold door
Blessed be his memory and what he stood for

A Fire Poured
He came from below not above
In the name of fury and of love
In a dark carriage made of light
With a jug of water in fire fight
To usher vengeance he forgave
A righteous man and the knave
He shouted softly into the mind
Words so harsh words so kind
She followed and walked away
She was night and she was day
Coarsely whispered honest lies
Somber laughter in merry cries
Together made the watery fire
A jug a wagon the flame a tire
In the end when this all began
He was woman she was man
In the name of fury and of love
In a dark carriage made of light
With a jug of water in fire fight
To usher vengeance he forgave
A righteous man and the knave
He shouted softly into the mind
Words so harsh words so kind
She followed and walked away
She was night and she was day
Coarsely whispered honest lies
Somber laughter in merry cries
Together made the watery fire
A jug a wagon the flame a tire
In the end when this all began
He was woman she was man

Geez
The western world is on hands and knees
Now world belongs to birds and bees
The lovely flowers and the trees
The mountains and the seas
The earth and the breeze
A respiratory disease
And the Chinese
Now world belongs to birds and bees
The lovely flowers and the trees
The mountains and the seas
The earth and the breeze
A respiratory disease
And the Chinese

My Corona
A few others have done this one already it seems, but this is my My Corona version
Yes, i am bored
Ooh, my itty bitty one, my tiny one
When you gonna let me outside, Corona?
Ooh, you've taken all my fun, all my fun
So here inside I have to hide Corona
I can't leave this place, or touch my face, such a dreary time
I always clean my mouse, the whole house and what else I find
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Corona
Don't come any closer, huh, but will ya, huh?
Close enough to get in my eye Corona
Keeping it a...

3 In 1
I am your natural freak
You'll find me on my knees
Observing ants and bees
Down by the winding creek
I am your difficult one
I watch events unfold
I won't do what I am told
Or aim the loaded gun
I am your flying fool
Wings of wax and fun
Soaring to the sun
Falling into your pool
You'll find me on my knees
Observing ants and bees
Down by the winding creek
I am your difficult one
I watch events unfold
I won't do what I am told
Or aim the loaded gun
I am your flying fool
Wings of wax and fun
Soaring to the sun
Falling into your pool
